This Tri-axial framework explains the multi-dimensional relationship between three main axes of the BIM domain: the BIM Fields of activity (x-axis) identifying domain players, their requirements and deliverables; the BIM Stages (y-axis) delineating minimum capability benchmarks; and countless BIM Lenses (z-axis) providing the depth and breadth of enquiry necessary to identify, assess and qualify BIM fields and BIM stages.
